Random NBA Observations 2016 - 2017

He's just gifted, had he been able to play the last two years I think we'd be looking at a top 10 player right now, his ceiling is unreal when you consider how big his impact has been on defense. The Sixers are actually + with him on the court.
Offensively he's done pretty much everything, like there isn't anything we haven't seen from him, dude just keeps breaking out new equipment from the toolshed.
Embiid plays like a created player. Someone was fukking around and gave him body control like D. Wade and handles too. Him, Davis, Towns and KP are some cheat codes.
He would be the best player in the NBA. No offense to Bron but he's more talented than LeBron. The shyt Embiid does is uncalled for and still adjusting to the speed of the game being out for two years. Year two, he will be the best player in the NBA.
Here's the thing, he is playing around trash. No offense to Saric or Okafor who are talented but most of that roster is made of 3rd stringers outside of Holmes.
Simmons and Bayless are needed and needed bad.

imagine if they drafted Booker over Okafor
I don't think he'd be the best player, but he'd definitely be top 10, his talent is so undeniable, he has no idea what to focus on right now and he still makes it look easy on offense.
The Sixers are in no rush, they knew all along how special dude was, the team trash but their future is bright with him and Ben.

Porzingis is who they really missed on, Booker wasn't really supposed to be that high.
@Malta I don't know how likely it is, but do you think Pelicans should trade back for Noel? I mean it's Bryan, Noel likely won't resign there, and he's probably going to be pretty cheap to get in a trade too. It would give Davis a legitimate partner in the front court too.
edit: I forgot they resigned Asik even after he was a major bust on the team. He's there until 2020.

Porzee didn't want to go to Philly tho. Okafor didn't either but Porzee was more of a unknown quantity.
The Pels aren't trading their 1st round pick for Noel. Maybe they will be willing to trade Frazier or Cunningham or a protected 1st.@Malta I don't know how likely it is, but do you think Pelicans should trade back for Noel?

Thank goodness for Joel's injury, I couldn't imagine Bron and Embiid with Kyrie at the point 
Thompson getting boards too. No one would beat Cleveland, hell, you really can't beat them now.

They should but they wont, we talking about a team that traded a first for Omer Asik
It's not like they have much to offer either, rather would they be willing to give up Hield? Cause that's who the Sixers would probably ask for. And I don't think Noel will be that easy to get because they can just offer him the qualifying offer.
